The different place, the different meaning
I had a student practiced the particle 'も' which made me drawn my attention to the interesting point.
「ジョンさんは、４つのハンバーガーも食べました」, which means 'John ate four hamburgers too'.
「ジョンさんは、４つもハンバーガーを食べました」 or 「ジョンさんは、ハンバーガーを４つも食べました」 which mean, 'John ate as many as four hamburgers'
You might remember that words order in the Japanese language is not so matter when you use the particles correctly, however, in such cases above, you sometimes have to be careful about the order when making some expressions.

4つのハンバーガーも(too, also) vs ジョンさんも (too, also): 状況に応じてどちらにもなりえるそうです。私も以前気になってネイティブに聞いてみたことがあります。次のサイトも役に立つかと思います。

「ジョンさんは、４つのハンバーガーも食べました」, which means 'John ate four hamburgers too'.
It means somebody ate 4 hamburgers?
If it is,「ジョンさんも、４つのハンバーガーを食べました」 is collect.
If I misunderstood,I'm sorry. I'm not good at English.
